Perry named Builder of the Year 2015!

Every year, the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville presents the “Builder of the Year” award at their holiday party, and this year, our very own Perry Lyons was chosen!

For those of you who don’t know, the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville (BIA) is a trade association of residential and commercial builders and developers who work in the area. The board has just under 2,000 members.

The event was held at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Louisville, and we enjoyed a beautiful night together as a team! Thank you to all of you who have done business with us in the past and given us the opportunity to build a name for ourselves in the community. You all are the reason we are able to do what we do, and we celebrate you along with our accomplishments this holiday season.
